From the headlines and advertisements, it may seem like AI is everywhere. While in fact AI has emerged and established a place in the market, not everything touted as AI is actually artificial intelligence.

The untapped potential of AI is mind-boggling, the stuff of wild imaginations that see no limit to the possibilities. Theories expound about a world in which robots and machines manage the basic and advanced functions of living, like grocery shopping or performing tasks and jobs. The whole purpose of robots and machines is to allow humans to be more productive in other pursuits, ultimately paving the way for humans to use their ample free time to advance as a species.

Moore’s Law, a computing term from the ‘70s, states that computing power doubles approximately every 2 years. Since the origin of this law, the changes in computers’ power and capabilities are staggering, and they’re not about to stop. As a result of these advances in computer power, AI has been able to evolve, leading to new developments in society and technology.
